Does Articulate have any plans to make a Mac OS compatible version of Storyline?

Now two years later from the original post, is there any discussion or plans to make a Mac OS compatible version of Storyline? Or is using a virtual Windows session still the long term solution?

If there is no plan for MacOS, is there a place to vote on/let Articulate know that this is a desired option outside of this discussion board?

I was actually in disbelief that there wasn't a mac version. I'm running Storyline 360 on a i7/32GB windows machine and it's clunky, slow, saving and rendering out takes forever on larger projects, etc. Meanwhile my 8 year old iMac absolutely smokes on native mac apps. Join the rest of the creative/digital authoring world, Articulate!

Hmmm. Something isn't right. My Parallels app is only 68 GB.

Have just joined Articulate 360 for the 60-day free trial, but already I have felt extremely disappointed that there is no native Mac version for Storyline. In 2020 I would have expected that both PC and Mac versions were available.

Articulate 360 do you discount for Mac users giver there are other expenses to run in virtual world on a Mac?

this is disappointing news. While I've been using 360 for a few years now, I've always done so on my work provided laptop. Now that I have been furloughed (no income coming in) I now have to figure out a way to purchase additional software that I won't use for anything else just so I can continue to use a product I've already paid for for the next year. I hope you all reevaluate the MAC issue moving forward. 

I have been following this issue for almost five years and was surprised to finally see Articulate switch their official corporate positioning from "we don't discuss software development plans" to finally admitting that they have no intention to release a macOS version of Storyline.  I know a couple of years ago they were looking for macOS development employees, maybe that didn't work out so well.

Anyways, for anyone complaining about the extra licensing of Parallels, you can use Oracle VirtualBox, it's free.  I've been using that for about five years.  It's a pain to reserve like 8 GB of your RAM for a virtual operating system of Windows 10, but it works well.  I had it on a 2011 iMac (i7 + 16 GB RAM) and it was fine, and obviously still good with 2019 system.

I recently started an educational consulting firm and once considered using Articulate 360 as one of the primary tools for e-learning instructional design. However, the optimal platform for our design work is macOS, given its superior capabilities with design and multimedia. Another strength that macOS has for us is its reliability and security from an operational standpoint. While it is essential to take into consideration the needs of your existing clients, the company is limiting themselves in terms of who can take full advantage of the products and services you offer. 

It is rare now to come across software companies that will create software for only one platform when there are many (Google OS, Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, etc.). Windows may be what the largest share of your clients use currently, but no business stays in business using the same technology indefinitely. The tech industry is extremely competitive, and it is always evolving. The compatibility of your software needs to keep up with the evolving needs of the marketplace. The lack of willingness to be compatible across operating systems will ultimately keep potential clients away. Why spend hundreds of dollars on add-ons for compatibility when my company can invest in a tool that is closer to universal compatibility? Even if I could afford to, that is not an optimal use of company resources.

Seriously, at least take into consideration the compatibility of ALL your tools (not just Peek 360) to macOS and iOS. So many people use iPhones and iPads, and that would enhance accessibility for your existing clients and open the door to clients who use macOS because of it more conducive to their business model.

Another Mac user here. I use Parallels with a Windows virtual machine, but I run into SOOO many issues with Windows (not to mention all the headaches that come with having to copy my files, etc.) that I'd really love a native Mac version. Can Articulate at least give us a space (link) to request this as a way to collect all the votes? I feel like our voices aren't even being heard. Maybe one exists already and I'm not aware of it?

I also run Boot Camp exclusively to run Storyline 360. As of today, I'm sick of it and wanted to raise a stink. We need this yesterday. It's about to be 2020, we've got robots that do laser surgery; you can figure out how to build and maintain a Mac version.

As a freelancer I'm keen to avoid extra costs as I'm either working for less or pricing myself out of the market if I use Storyline. Thankfully very few clients insist on Storyline, when they do I have to decline the work - not something I ever want to do but I have to as I don't want to convert my entire life (phone, tablets, laptops and computer) to the world of Windows
